Welcome to the inaugural SUN LIFE 5150 Cebu! We are glad to bring the Sun Life 5150 triathlon race for the first time here in the City of Naga, Cebu.

This year, the race will still feature the rolling start for the swim where triathletes are expected to self-seed themselves. The 1.5 swim course is at the iconic Boardwalk in the City of Naga. The 2-loop 40km bike course will traverse from the City of Naga to the Municipality of Minglanilla, up to Talisay City. While the 10km run course will be within the City of Naga.

"In early times, the place now known as NAGA was abundant with trees locally called “Narra”. The first settlers named the place as “Narra” (derived from the narra trees) and named it in later years to what it is now known as NAGA.

Considered as one of the oldest settlements in the Province of Cebu, Naga became a municipality on June 12, 1829 and has gone through a series of reclassification simultaneous with its healthy economic development as it grows.

The tranquil farming and fishing villages of the natives were raised to a fuss when the Spaniards arrived and explored the coal mining in upland barangays. Coal then became the first export product of the town, as the Spaniards mined and sent them to Spain. Second to coal was cement product.
